John Gilmartin was all in preflop holding [Ac][9d] and was up against Brian Altman's [Ah][6s]. The [8s][2d][Qs] flop changed nothing, but the [8h] on the turn meant that the two would chop half of the time. The [9c] was a good river card for John, as his hand held up for a full double.
A few hands later, John was all in again against Brian, this time with [Ts][Tc] against Brian's [Ah][Ks]. John's tens were good on the [4d][6d][4s] flop, and the [7c] turn changed nothing. But the [Kd] spiked on the river to give Brian the winning pair.
John will exit this tournament in 5th place, good for $20,906.
